Dave's agreement with Doc and Sally is to help the two adventurous
scientists disappear into the future. But being left behind by the
closest people Dave has to family isn't the bargain the

Belarus is an isolated country dominated by one man. Few tourists
go there despite its fascinating, cultured past and beautiful
countryside. Belarussians are friendly and hospitable yet they
rarely have the chance to speak their minds and are deprived of
access to unbiased information. They have been removed from the
flow of European history by a tyrannical regime described by
Condoleezza Rice, the former US Secretary of State, as 'the last
dictatorship in Europe'. The people of Belarus were not ready for
independence in 1991 and were misled into believing that the young,
unsophisticated Alexander Lukashenko would lead them into a bright
future. Instead he foisted upon them a dictatorship little
different from what they had known before. Bennett's book tracks
the history of Belarus from the collapse of the Soviet Union to the
eventual establishment of dictatorship in 2006. It takes the reader
through the excitement and mistakes of the first presidential
election in 1994, undemocratic referenda and elections, suspicious
disappearances of critics of the regime and the suppression of
opposition. It ends with a close look at the enigmatic Alexander
Lukashenko and hazards a guess as to how his regime will end.
Belarus deserves to be better known; this book pulls back the
curtain
